Second notebook...

You enjoyed the film Easy Rider?
You love acrobat bikers?
You think that only crazy guys can cross a country on scooters in one month?
You’d like to know if it’s possible but you don’t dare to do it?

Help us!



Today, I mean tonight we are in Basel (Switzerland) and we decided to go to St Louis on the French side to activate my card, so it's done. Problem is St Louis stinks... It's only public housing and we're only having crappy offers for tonight. So we decided to say "Fuck OFF"* and cross the Rhine (swimming!) to walk on the German side until 10-10.30pm when we decided to find a spot for our tent...
*in English in the text
Finally, when we were asking if we could spend the night in a square, we've been told in a faltering English: "You can sleep here if you want". It seems easy to spend a night in a warm place in a real bed after a good shower but you have to think about all the  saliva swallowed to escape the doubts and not wonder "where are we gonna spend the night ? and what are we gonna eat ?" (and most of all "are we gonna eat ?")
Plain rice is no good, we're monday the 1st of August, day of  the chassé-croisé and national holiday for Switzerland. But we're not in Switzerland anymore we're in Germany in a green van on the road to Stuttgart. Today is a critical day, we have to make our laundry. It's vital. It's been a week since we left.
